I'd be inclined to wonder if by coincidence the people who ordered it at 24.99 don't get it, but those who paid 29.99 do.....

Best visuals I have seen in a game ever... Bar none. That includes Quake IV, FEAR, HL2 etc...etc...

I'm in awe every step I take.

if you bought it from the 6 letter place we're not allowed to mention, then the chances are that if it hasn't shipped yet, you're about to receive a cancelled order email :(

Really gutted about that...i doubt i'll be shopping with them again, and i think i'll have to let them know that as well
 
Eh, waiting for my HD to format at the moment, so I'll post this for those that didn't receive their copy today, just to rub it in :p :D

In the words of Arnie from that most loveable film with the dreadlock sporting alien........

"Youuuuuuu son of a b*tch"

:D

Enjoy it mate........ lucky bugger!! ;)
 
Just to say with the specs in my sig, I decided to run at 1600 x ??? (for widescreen), and turned some details up. Along with 2x AA and bloom. And in a window.

Started in the very beginning, and its so god damn lovely. I know I wont be able to run it like this, but it was good whilst it lasted.

Before I changed the settings, I was running at 800x600 and it was very very smooth. Will put on FRAPS later on and take some short videos.

At the beginning, do notice the physics. I can punch things like the hanging chains, and they actually move!!! Impressive :) Thank you for Havok physics.

With the 3GB ram, there is no trashing to HDD.

your sig doesn't actually say what gfx card you have i think :)
 
Doh! Silly me. And very good you for spotting it.

Geforce 6600GT AGP 128mb ram.

Anyway I think I might upgrade to a PCI-E motherboard, dual core CPU, and a interim Geforce 7x00 card for now.....

Any comparisions on single and dual core CPUs for this game?
 
Well, rain + torch in hand + multiple enemies = low fps :p

It was the first time i died too :rolleyes:

Oh, well at least i've levelled up (level 5 woohoo) though i really should go and get some gold :D
 
Use your own face - Facegen photofit.

Not sure if this will work for people as i dont have the game yet but..

If people are trying to model their own face, try using facegen and load in a picture of your own face. I took two photos of myself, front and side and loaded it into the demo version of facegen and let it does its photofit thing for 10 minutes and it has done a pretty good job. If you copied down the slider values and copied them into Oblivion it might be fairly close to your own face. The texture wouldnt be quite right but you would have the shape.
 
yeah facegen is amazing! Was messing around with the demo last night, my gf and mate were speechless! If i had a spare couple of hundred quid to burn id buy the full version :p

Didn't work too well for me. Doesn't really resemble me that much. I wish it did because the face it came up with looks much better than my actual face :p The ones of Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie someone posted were excellent though, looked just like them.
 
HDR

can someone explain what HDR is, and what effect will it have on normal LCD computer monitors (like mine in sig). Also is there a performance hit for having it turned on ?

thanks :)
